State of California – Capitol Park
An Aqua-PhyD system was installed in Capitol Park on the grounds of the State Capitol this year. Capitol Park has silty loam soils with very good water quality measuring 0.18 mmhos/cm or just over 100ppm of total soluble salts.
The parks problem however, was the insolubility of nutrients and lack of sustained color and witnessed chlorosis as a result. With the addition of Aqua-PhyD, the Extractable Data reflected an increase in nutrient solubility of the base saturation cations Ca-Mg-K across the board. On the exchangeable side the E.C., Sulfate / Sulfur, and Sodium are all staying in desired range.
As well, compaction has improved. Before Aqua-PhyD a soil probe could not penetrate the ground whereas after treating the area, we were able to sink a probe with no problem.
The grounds maintenance supervisor, Les Strike stated that they have visually realized a significant improvement of plant health with the Camellia trees and provided the following testimonial:
“Aqua-PhyD has reduced compaction, water use and chlorosis while improving water infiltration and nutrient availability. My main concern was the Camellia tress due to severe chlorosis and the decline in health overall. I feared they may need to be removed. Today, after Aqua-PhyD, the bloom is the best it has been in quite some time and the leaves were a glossy green as opposed to the typical chlorosis that had been experienced in the past.”

Whittier Narrows Golf Course Benefits from Aqua-PhyD
Rosemead, CA (September 25, 2009) - One of Aqua-PhyD’s most recent installations is Whittier Narrows Golf Course in Rosemead, California. Two months after installation, compaction of the soil has been significantly reduced allowing water the ability to percolate and infiltrate the soil profile. As a result, the course is experiencing improved playing conditions, greener grass, and enhanced turf health.
Superintendent Rick Clawson states, “I don’t have ponding or pooling effects on my course anymore since the Aqua-PhyD system was installed and the water is moving through our soil medium like it is supposed to.”

California State University, Fresno and the Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT)
A study titled: "Interaction of Aqua-Phyd Treated Water and Fertilizer in Vegetable Production: Phase 1- Pot Studies with Broccoli," has been completed.
The final report was released November 2nd. The study was directed and compiled by Dr. D. Goorahoo, F. Cassel S., and D. Adhikari, Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT) and California State University-Fresno
The study confirmed Aqua-PhyD's ability to grow Broccoli in clay soil with 20% less water. The plants receiving Aqua-PhyD treated water not only were as healthy as plants with more water, but they also matured earlier.
Copies of the complete study are available upon request to Aqua-PhyD.
